.. shall we expect Herr Harper & 'Justice' Minister MacKay to shove a felony crime law through, as is North Carolina.. regarding anyone revealing or leaking information on the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing - fracking?

Absurd? Yes.. Likely? Why not? Just another omnibus item buried in a section named Enhancing the Safety of Resource Workers versus Scary Scientists or some such. And why not include felony charges for scientists describing exactly what is leaking from active and inactive well bores - such as Radon, Methane, Boron and Mercury.. or for meteorologists informing us where the winds are distributing the airborne chemicals.. or hydrologists pointing out how leakage enters our water systems?

Just remember that Christy Clark already attempted to legislate jail time for anyone reporting infections or disease in farmed salmon.. all bound for our dinner tables, exported illegaly to the USA, Japan etc if so infected

This is a captured rogue government intent on promoting fracking anywhere in Canada & supporting whatever it takes for the vast infrastructures involved, the ancillary resources and delivery points - 'tidewater' as millionaire stockbroker Joe Oliver loves to say.

Science and biology are already under assault by the Harper Government and many of the provinces.. and it will get worse each passing day that Harper et al get to fragment, erode and obscure knowledge of what they are doing. That Tony Clement can just ignore the mandate of his position is shocking. Just as Peter Kent did regarding Endangered Species & Keith Ashfield and Gail Shea have done we wild Fisheries.

They are not just defying and muzzling Science & Biology.. they are defying Canadians on all files. Elections, Vets, Pollution, Health, Aboriginal Affairs, Treasury, Freedom of Information, Foreign Affairs, Resources, Transport Safety, Procurement, Immigration.. and Democracy.. and Truth

Their sins and crimes are many, Salamander; thanks for reminding us of some of them. There has never been a more urgent time for concerned and patriotic Canadians to rally to their country's defense. Let's hope there are enough of them for our next federal election.
